BEYOND THE KNOWN WORLDS - The Spiritic Volume II

By William Higham

This newly revised and expanded futuristic tale of the Spiritic is now told in three illustrated volumes. In Volume II - Beyond the Known Worlds, abducted Numorkian biologist and star marathon runner Dr. Rom Quanadeen crash-lands in a jungle on Jupol, a war-torn planet in an alien galaxy, with an injured Josi Talim, and the emulator Kitor. To save Josi, her only option is a solo 8-10-day run - north across the Voshland, a canyon-riven desert - to the nearest town, Bergetsia, to seek rebel leader, Calan Lora. Critically injured by an alien predator plant, and still haunted by eerie dreams of a Sed-Genal ancestor's brutal war with a rival Gan-Genal tribe, Rom is on a mystical run that will change her forever. Junaid, four years into his desperate mission to find his mentor Tark-Zirk's so-called alien savior, finds he's a target for Raak-Kaal's troopers. A Fortug street beggar urges him to take refuge in a rebel base - in Bergetsia. And Tark-Zirk's savior draws closer. Aboard the Ruconicca in Jupolian space, Kru Sigor's mission to rescue Rom takes a bad turn with news the galaxy they entered via the Black Maelstrom is an asynchronous star system. Every ship's month, their homeworld Numork ages unknown years. Worse, Kru, also infected by a toxic scratch, is told of the Esadov bug threat by his spirit guide, Mils Forbear. Helpless in quarantine, he persuades a shocked Gan-Genal medical officer, Pru Perazio, to read Forbear's despised Sed-Genal backed book, Long-Ago Man. WE READ IT OVER A VERY RELUCTANT PRU'S COLD SHOULDER...
